Zafferano by Acqua di Parma is built around saffron, warmed by cinnamon and a bite of ginger at the top. Rose and iris sit in the middle, keeping the spice from turning sharp. The base is where it turns serious: oud, sandalwood and leather, dark and a little smoky in feel. Launched in 2019, it is unisex and suits anyone drawn to warm, spiced scents rather than fresh, citrus ones. Voters wear it in autumn and winter, in the evening, through the day and at night alike. Both longevity and sillage lean moderate in the vote, present but never overpowering. Live with a 10ml decant through a full cold season before you decide on the bottle.

The community verdict
Saffron, cinnamon and ginger give Zafferano a warm, spicy start before rose and iris soften into oud, sandalwood and leather. Wear time divides between moderate and long-lasting, while projection divides between moderate and strong. It fits autumn evenings best, though winter and daytime work too.
